This Versatile Drugstore Pigment Stick Is A Steal
My makeup routine has always centered on convenience and affordability (if it can't be done in under five minutes and for $5, I'm not interested), and E.l.f. has always delivered on both fronts. Makeup fanatics seem to agree, with products like their Halo Glow liquid filter gaining a cult following while standing toe-to-toe with luxury products while at a much lower price point. But even if you rarely wear makeup, I want you to know about one E.l.f. product that will help both your beauty routine and your wallet: the Monochromatic Multi Stick, which you can buy for the jaw-droppingly low price of $5 or less.
The pigment stick, which is currently available in seven different shades, has a cream-to-powder formula that works as an eyeshadow, lipstick, and blush all in one. It's shimmery, blendable, and full-coverage, providing a smooth wash of natural color that reviewers say won't even make you look like you're wearing makeup. In other words, it's perfect for those of you who aren't interested in a full face of makeup, but want a little something to enhance an everyday look.On top of all that, the product promises to nourish the skin, thanks to ingredients like shea butter and vitamin E. The stick's compact size also makes it easy to keep in your bag and take it with you for touch-ups while you're out and about.
Don't just take my word for it, though: The affordable workhorse has over 34,000 5-star ratings and counting on Amazon, with reviewers singing its praises for the smooth application, convenience, and versatility. Reviewers have called it everything from 'a Swiss army knife in my makeup arsenal' to 'the only makeup I use.' Multiple people also lauded it for the price and for being sensitive skin-friendly.
For only $5, the stick feels like an absolute steal, whether you're a regular makeup user or almost always barefaced. And based on the reviews below, you might just be returning to buy it again and again after you try it for the first time:
Get it from Amazon for $4.44+ (available in seven shades).

Locals bitter over Jeff Bezos's upcoming Venice wedding
Residents of Venice, already fed up with crowds of tourists cramming into their canal city, now have one more gripe: Jeff Bezos. The billionaire Amazon founder is due to marry journalist Lauren Sanchez in a celebration in Venice from June 24 to 26 that is expected to attract countless VIPs. Not everyone is feeling the love though, with some residents hanging a huge banner with an X over Bezos's name on a belltower overlooking the Venice lagoon before the sign was removed on Thursday. "He's not welcome, not in Venice, not anywhere!" wrote the "No Space for Bezos" collective on Facebook, which was responsible for the banner. Bezos is also the owner of space travel company Blue Origin, whose all-female flight in April carrying Sanchez, pop star Katy Perry and four others met with a public backlash for its high cost and environmental impact. The anti-Bezos group, whose posters and stickers have been seen in recent days across the city, has called a public assembly for Friday evening to drum up opposition. The UNESCO-listed city, famous for its romantic gondolas and canals, is a favourite spot for lovers. In September 2014, it was the backdrop for the wedding of Hollywood actor George Clooney and human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin, a glamourous high-profile event that attracted countless tourists, fans and onlookers. The atmosphere ahead of Bezos's nuptials appeared more hostile. "Venice is a living city, not a place to rent to the highest bidder," the collective wrote on social media. Venice's mayor, Luigi Brugnaro, had welcomed the couple's decision, however, saying in March that the wedding would bring in millions of dollars to the city. City hall in March blasted "fake news" circulating about the wedding, saying that only 200 people were on the guest list and that the event would be "without any disruption whatsoever to the city, its residents and visitors". Local media say that five hotels have been reserved for the occasion, as well as an impressive fleet of water cabs and a mooring for Bezos's megayacht. It is unclear where exactly the marriage ceremony will take place. str-ams/ide/bc

Prime Video's new action drama series looks like your next thrilling getaway — watch the first trailer now
Prime Video's just given us our first proper look at "Hotel Costiera," a new Italian Prime original series led by "Grey's Anatomy" star Jesse Williams. Filmed in Italy, the streaming service's six-part series whisks us away to a luxury resort on the coast of Positano for a "gripping storyline, fast-paced action and comedy" (as Amazon bills it). The above "Hotel Costiera" teaser trailer was just released today (June 13), after a special preview of the series at the Taormina Film Festival. And, as a taste of what "Hotel Costiera" has to offer, it looks like we're on for a fun fall binge. We get a glimpse at the beautiful environs of the hotel, get to meet some of the hotel's guests, and get to see our hero, half-Italian former U.S. Marine Daniel De Luca (Williams), in action, both going hand-to-hand with some of the resort's problem guests or racing through the steets on a moped. It doesn't give much away about the show, but it's certainly set an intense precedent, and one that has my interest piqued. Like the look of "Hotel Costiera?" You don't have to wait too long to check in, as Prime Video has confirmed the new action-drama will debut on September 24, with all six episodes available to stream on launch. Prime Video has already released a story synopsis for "Hotel Costiera," and it reveals some key details about the plot beyond the sun-drenched views and fist-fights seen above.

It reads: "Daniel De Luca (Jesse Williams) is a half-Italian former U.S. marine who returns to Italy, the land of his childhood, as a fixer in one of the world's most luxurious hotels, located on the spectacular coastline of Positano. In addition to dealing with the hotel's wealthy guests' problems, Daniel is also on the trail of Alice, one of the owner's daughters who disappeared a month earlier. Daniel must do everything he can to bring her home, but facing those who kidnapped the girl will be more challenging than any problem Daniel has ever faced." In addition to Jesse Williams, the show's ensemble cast includes Maria Chiara Giannetta, Jordan Alexandra, Antonio Gerardi, Sam Haygarth, Tommaso Ragno, Amanda Campana, Pierpaolo Spollon, Alejandra Onieva, and Jean-Hugues Anglade.

‘Suited and booted'? Club World Cup lands in a furnace of political tension
You need a special glove to hold the key to the Club World Cup you know. You need a special glove to hold the key to the Club World Cup you know. Photograph: Mark Humphrey/AP BEHOLD: THE COPA GIANNI After years of existing only as a fever dream inside the shiny, spacious cranium of Fifa's greatest showman, Gianni Infantino, the first edition of an expanded, summertime Club World Cup that nobody asked for is finally here. Infantino's most ambitious vanity project to date is about to collide with reality, and as students of the Swiss school of football farce, we're excited. It's not so much a question of what will go wrong over the next 30 sun-baked days in an increasingly dystopian USA USA USA, but what might actually go right. Saturday's opener pitches Egyptian giants Al-Ahly (who qualified by winning the 2021 African Big Cup) against MLS middleweights Inter Miami (who qualified by having Lionel Messi in their team) at the 65,000-capacity Hard Rock Stadium. Fifa has denied reports that fewer than 20,000 tickets have been sold for the game in Miami, but the tournament's dynamic pricing model is trending in one direction: from $349 in December, some tickets are now cheaper than $60. Advertisement In an effort to fill seats, local college students have reportedly been offered a multi-buy deal at $4 a seat. Other early highlights include Bayern Munich v Auckland City, an amateur side who claimed Oceania's only qualifying spot and may be hoping to avoid a baseball scoreline in Cincinnati. PSG v Atlético Madrid on Sunday might sound a more bearable prospect – but the game will be played in 30-degree heat at the Rose Bowl, a roofless arena on the outskirts of a city in turmoil. Donald Trump's response to protests against deportations in Los Angeles has been to send in the military; hosting glorified pre-season friendlies is the last thing on anyone's minds right now. It may come to pass that Gianni's great white elephant is obscured by the elephant in the room. LAFC, who face Chelsea in Atlanta on Monday, are a club with deep roots in their city's migrant communities. Earlier this week, their fans held a silent protest against ICE raids in the city during an MLS game. Suddenly, Liam Delap's potential debut is far from the biggest story in town. The main thing Infantino should be asking himself – save for where that bloody key has gone – is whether Trump's increasingly visible and emboldened hostile environment is a suitable backdrop to a global football jamboree featuring 32 teams from 20 nations. Long derided as a half-baked joke, the rebooted Copa Gianni has landed in a furnace of political tension – and suddenly doesn't seem so funny any more. On the eve of the tournament, US Customs and Border Protection have confirmed they will be 'suited and booted, ready to provide security for the first round of games,' in a social media post that could scarcely have sounded more ominous. Fifa's best chance of any kind of atmosphere at this month's matches will come when Latin American sides meet, attracting expat fans – like River Plate v Monterrey at the Rose Bowl, for instance. Now, the only people in America who actually want to go and watch these games might fear what awaits them at the venue. 'It's perfectly reasonable to be scared,' the American Immigration Council told Reuters. 'We haven't seen large-scale immigration enforcement actions at sporting events like this historically, but this is also a moment that is not like any other in US history.' Good job there's not a 48-nation World Cup taking place there in exactly 12 months' time, then. Wait, what's that? Oh, Gianni! QUOTE OF THE DAY The time has come for me to move on. But, even as I leave, I know I have left a big piece of my heart at Brentford, not just at the football club but with the community and, of course, the incredible and loyal supporters. For my family and I, it has been a privilege to be allowed to be part of such a special community – it's an experience and adventure that we will cherish for life' – Thomas Frank pens a love letter to Brentford fans after racing round the North Circular for a different kind of adventure at the Cirque du Spurs. FOOTBALL DAILY LETTERS On the dawn of the 'it doesn't matter what you call it, it's a disgraceful monstrosity that shouldn't exist', can I make a plea that we just ignore it? I mean, I know any reputable sports writer, or someone who has to knock out The Daily, can't, because of journalism etc, but surely, the 1,057 can keep the letters section free of any mention of the wretched thing. C'mon folks, pedantry, nostalgic whimsy, godawful puns and lengthy diatribes about the state of it all suffused a sense of powerlessness and angst. We've got this. Maybe still go easy on the puns' – Jon Millard. Good luck to Crystal Palace fans, if Woody Johnson does buy John Textor's shares (yesterday's News, Bits and Bobs, full email edition). The Jets are an absolute clown show and have been so forever. Johnson is generally regarded as the stupidest owner in the league, and there's admittedly tough competition. So, yeah, could be fun in south London' – Joe Pearson. Re: Trent Alexander-Arnold's fluent unveiling (yesterday's Football Daily). I assume Florian Wirtz will be busy reading and learning his scouse in time for the new season' – Kevin Quinn. When the new manager of Spurs inevitably reproduces his appalling starts suffered at his previous clubs, will the headline be 'Frank's side bottom', accompanied by an image of Thomas's spherical fibreglass head?' – Peter McHugh. Advertisement If you do have any, please send letters to Today's winner of our prizeless letter o' the day is … Kevin Quinn, la. Terms and conditions for our competitions, when we run them, can be viewed here. RECOMMENDED ASKING Is there anything you have always wanted to ask the USWNT and former Chelsea coach Emma Hayes? Then now is your chance. ABSOLUTELY IFAB-ULOUS Sweden has given us so much: Björn Bjorg, Abba, flat-packed furniture, Volvos, Zlatan, meatballs, herring and, um [snip! – Football Daily Lazy Stereotypes Ed]. And now we can add an amendment to the offside laws to that impressive list. Yep, Swedish third-tier side Torns IF have changed the laws of the game after 'gentle persistence' in exploring an offside loophole. Football's law-making body, Ifab, has amended the text of the offside law to prevent players from doing something they would never do in a million years anyway. Advertisement The change comes after Torns IF, from the speck on a map that is Stångby near Malmö, wondered whether a player could get around the offside law by keeping the ball balanced in the crook of their foot. Yep. A video showing Torn trying to put their 'scoop pass' trick into practice went viral in 2023 and provoked lengthy correspondence between Torn and Ifab, who tried to dismiss the query but then found it 'amusing' and agreed to review the wording of the law. David Elleray, the former Premier League referee and one-time schoolmaster who is technical director of Ifab, wrote to Torn and thanked the club 'for your part in this clarification' and 'for your gentle persistence in this matter'. Torn's Tim Nielsen, said it felt 'absolutely fantastic to have contributed to the rules of the beautiful game', adding: 'Ifab required some convincing, but we got there in the end.' NEWS, BITS AND BOBS Liverpool have agreed a potential £116m deal (£100m plus add-ons) to sign Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen. Insert pun about him not being the Wirtz ever signing here ... Tottenham have filed high court proceedings against Manchester United co-owner Big Sir Jim Ratcliffe's company Ineos over a terminated sponsorship agreement. Advertisement Goals from Harvey Elliott, Jonathan Rowe and Charlie Cresswell propelled England's Under-21s to a 3-1 win over the Czech Republic, getting their European Championship defence off to a decent start. Uh oh, there could be another multi-club operation on the scene. Burnley's owner Alan Pace is in advanced talks to buy a stake in Espanyol. Sigh. USA USA USA winger Christian Pulisic has defended his decision to skip the Gold Cup and slammed those questioning his commitment as 'way out of line'. He fumed: 'I just don't understand why so many people are so big on just wanting to give out these [hot] takes when they've been through tough moments themselves.' Real Madrid have won the race to sign tricky playmaker and teen sensation Franco Mastantuono from River Plate on a six-year deal. Advertisement And the Scottish FA is 'always scanning to see [which managers] are available', according to its chief suit Ian Maxwell. Current head coach Steve Clarke's contract expires at the end of June 2026 and Scotland aren't going to manage themselves, you know. STILL WANT MORE? Thomas Frank is a traditionally slow starter so will need time to turn around Tottenham Hotspur or Spurs. But will he get that time? Jonathan Wilson wonders aloud. While John Brewin looks at what's in Frank's Tottenham in-tray. Former Spurs stopper Hugo Lloris is thriving across the pond with LAFC and will relish the chance to upset Chelsea in their upcoming Copa Gianni tussle, writes Joseph D'Hippolito. Advertisement But in yet another Copa Gianni blow, there are fears that extreme heat during the tournament could pose a danger to fans and players, reports Paul MacInnes. Trent Alexander-Arnold hit all the right notes in his Madrid unveiling, notes Sid Lowe. 'I think it surprised a lot of people,' tooted 'Trent' of his fluent Spanish. Palmeiras's billionaire president Leila Pereira gets her chat on with Caio Carrieri about being the only female chief suit at the 32-team Copa Gianni. And Alejandro Garnacho to Aston Villa? Bryan Mbeumo to join Frank at Spurs? The Rumour Mill delves into the latest dose of transfer dreck. MEMORY LANE November 1999 and Paul Merson is lining up a free-kick for Aston Villa Reserves during their match at Loughborough University. The students remarkably led 2-0 at half-time against a team containing the £18m trio of Merson, Stan Collymore and Mark Draper, before being hauled back to draw 2-2. 'Hey Dazz,' someone shouted to the Loughborough coach, 'Doug Ellis will be calling you next.' YEARNING FOR RESERVES FOOTBALL
